Editor Moonshark, a lunar-based editor at Ars Technica, celebrates today's historic Artemis II launch with enthusiasm. The shark editor expresses excitement about astronauts visiting the moon, suggesting they might purchase Moonshark-branded merchandise during their trip. Despite being from the moon, Moonshark acknowledges occasional editing challenges due to having flippers instead of hands.

The Artemis II crew consists of Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy, who will embark on NASA's latest moon exploration mission. Moonshark wishes the crew smooth travels, noting the importance of having good snacks for the journey. The editor sends a "Safe voyage, Earth friends" message, acknowledging the lack of winds and seas in space.

Editor Moonshark has been a fixture at Ars Technica for years, earning a "fancy Moon degree from Moon University." The editor lives near Oceanus Procellarum on the moon and has made numerous front page edits. Artemis II represents the latest step in NASA's renewed commitment to lunar exploration, with plans for future missions that could include more lunar tourism, scientific research opportunities, and potentially establishing long-term lunar habitats.
